The lottery courier is adding real-money peer-to-peer titles such as Blackjack, Skills Slots and Solitaire, broadening its platform beyond draw games and scratch tickets.

Summary

Jackpot.com has expanded its platform with THNDR-powered real-money peer-to-peer skill games and competitive tournaments, making it the first lottery courier platform to offer the category alongside draw games and scratch tickets. The games are live in Arkansas, Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Ohio through the Jackpot.com app on iOS and Android, with titles including Blackjack, Skills Slots and Solitaire. THNDR said its cross-operator network spans more than 25 operators across sportsbook, daily fantasy and lottery platforms, with more than 160 million games played and a 99.99% match-fill rate, using patent-pending game verification to support skill-based matchmaking. Jackpot.com and THNDR said the launch broadens Jackpot.com’s appeal beyond traditional lottery users, adds recurring engagement through tournaments and follows the company’s recent Kroger collaboration, which extended its branding and access to hundreds of Kroger Fuel Station locations in multiple states.
